What is the central image and theme of Ai Qing's poem Handcart?

This poem depicts the unbearable poverty and long-term sorrow of the people in North China where the Yellow River flows, and conveys the poet's deep anxiety about the fate of the nation and his consistent sympathy for the peasants in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. What the poet deeply feels is the poverty and color of this land, so this poem is also a calm and painful protest against the makers of suffering.

As an objective phenomenon, "cart" is only a medium for the poet to convey his sad thoughts, and the profound sadness and anger contained in the poem far exceed the cart itself.

Poetry symbolizes the infinite sadness of northern farmers, barren yellow land, cold and silent foothills and winding mountain roads through the monotonous and harsh "sharp voice twitching the dark sky" commonly used by northern farmers.

Accompanied by the screams from the wheelbarrow, a dignified, dark, poor and desolate rural landscape in the north was outlined, and the theme of "the sorrow of the people in the north" was vividly expressed.

Extended data:

1938 to 65438+ 10, Ai Qing came to the Yellow River from the cold Wuhan with a sense of falling snow, and set foot on the real land of ice and snow for the first time. You can imagine the passion surging in her heart. He wrote the long poem "North". He wrote nearly ten simple and dignified poems with a painter who is good at sketching and powerful modeling language, and "Handcart" is one of them.

"Tram" is only 20 short lines, but it outlines a real heartbreaking situation.

The whole poem is extremely concise, without a superfluous word. Every accurate and heavy word contains a true feeling of historical suffering. They run over the reader's mind like a heavy wheelbarrow: the "sharp sound that makes the gloomy sky twitch" from the "only wheel" and the "deep rut on the gray loess layer" interweave into a northern amano with sound and tangible color.

Ai Qing has the intensity of "subjective experience" and the spark of inspiration. First of all, he has a warrior feeling with the same fate as the motherland; Secondly, because of his personal qualities, he is particularly sensitive to the sufferings of nature and land, which is related to his eating milk from Dayan River and his own suffering experience. Secondly, he has the sensitivity and skills to outline and shape the image of the sensory world.
